The oath and the blessing — 'And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's after thee, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God. The oath sworn by Moses establishes Caleb's right to the land he surveyed. The future tense ('shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's after thee') makes the promise heritable—Caleb's faith is rewarded not merely for himself but for his lineage.
